"I did not accuse Lo Yuy of taking bribes from karaoke clubs,” the governor said Friday.Phnom Penh’s governor says he will not investigate a district official who was nearly implicated in two illegal karaoke clubs earlier this month.
Phnom Penh Governor Kep Chuktema told VOA Khmer on Friday there was “no need” to investigate Chamkarmon District Governor Lo Yuy because of the structure of city government.
If he were removed, Kep Chuktema said, it would not be publicly. Kep Chuktema said he had not found bribery among any of the city’s eight district governors.
Kep Chuktema was quoted by the English-language Phnom Penh Post as saying in a meeting last week he wanted to fire Lo Yuy, after police raided two illegal karaoke clubs in his district.
“I did not accuse Lo Yuy of taking bribes from karaoke clubs,” the governor said Friday. “I only said, ‘The drug problem and sex abuse was happening in your area. So what does that mean that it still happens in your area? You don’t know, or you pretend not to know?’”
Kep Chuktema said he had phrased his words this way because residents in the area had complained of illicit drugs, prostitution and child sex crimes in the district, which could lead them to assume bribery by the district’s leader.
Instead, Lo Yuy will remain at his post. He declined to comment Friday.

How much bribes did you receive Kep, from Lo Yuy to back off from prosecuting ?
You yourself should be prosecuted.
Exactly,You cannot have mr corruption telling someone corruption is bad.
ah kdor na kor doch ah kdor na dae .. vea min khos knear te .
Mr. Yep precisely speaks nothing, but the absolute truth, 'cause SenVarman secretly got most of money. Everyone must corruptively share a piece of money in order for the CPP standing strong 4ever!
Mr. Lo Youy needs to do more and more things to prevent himself from being sacked.
1. Look at the Russian Market Street 155 why there is dark at night? because commune head does not work or does not know how to develop the area i see there is no change since 2000 until now while other streets equipped with street electricity?
2. A street behind Bopha Chhay Den, it is occuppied by slump and when it is dark you will see the street boys to get drug and the slump start to make the people passed through frighthened.
3. There is no plan to develop small street (Plov Deung Hem)
I hope that someone knows Mr. Lo Youy please bring this concern.
I like to see the development in the district. I vote for CPP for better life not for none.
